“Intense, precise, and full of personality, Smith dared perform a piece that demands a great deal by the performer, whose part is a nearly uninterrupted arc sound that is responsible for the architecture of the entire composition…”– Lorenzo De Vecchi, OperaClick, (Penderecki Viola Concerto, Juilliard Orchestra led by Case Scaglione) [Hear it on SoundCloud.]
